Because inevitably the link won't be active long, this is a VW sand rail dune buggy.

Ever since that event we held in Rockingham, I've been thinking I need one of these things!

Would such a vehicle even be legal for rallycross? If we do this long enough, somebody will eventually show up with one!

It doesn't look like a very good handler, but it's probably durable enough. Of course, the Neon is durable enough, so you might be a little further over on the durability <-> handling compromise scale than would be ideal.

But that's for you to decide. Buy it, throw some legal rear tires on it, and come on out!

Except for the rear tires, as Carl mentioned.

I think it would be difficult to turn away any hand-crafted car with a license plate. Bring it on! :)
